Re: Official Trade Roy Hibbert Thread

Do you think anyone here cares about Roy Making a lot of money? Nobody gives a **** about that, we're all happy for him getting rich, the problem starts when that money counts against your cap and you are forced to dump Granger or not resign West because of the underperforming overpaid big fellow

There is no need to dump Granger or not resign West because of Roy's contract at the moment.

Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.

Re: Official Trade Roy Hibbert Thread

You guys who get upset over Roy's deal crack me up. If your boss comes into your office on Monday and offers you more than your worth are you going to tell him no? Are you going to say "Can't do that boss I would be literally (LOL) stealing money from you"

**** no you wouldn't.

So shut your damn pie holes about Roy's deal, if you think he's overpaid take it up with the front office not with the damn player you dinguses.

Is Roy overpaid? Maybe I don't know, but he's certainly not as overpaid as some other big men in the NBA right now check out the Lake show on a nightly basis if you need proof. But I do know that if he's "overpaid" or not all Roy did was get himself a good deal and I can't begrudge any human for doing that because every single sucker in this thread would do the exact same thing.

That's all I have to say about this absurd thread that takes an asinine premise (that Roy is somehow at fault for being paid his fair market value) and runs wild with it. If you want to be upset about how Roy is playing, fine, but you'll look a whole lot more mature about it if you leave his contract out of it. Murphy never bothered me so much how much he was paid, he upset because he was a lazy *** big man. Roy at least is a tremendous defender. Elite even.

Re: Official Trade Roy Hibbert Thread

Jeff was a lifelong backup and that was all that he was. He was paid handsomely for being a backup... ...

Strongly disagree with this statement. Jeff Foster started more than one season for the Pacers team with Miller, Tinsley, JO, Artest, Jackson that won 60 games. Foster was an ideal pf/c for that team. He was also only 4-5 seasons into his career. Foster in his prime quite possibly is the best pf/center we had. more specifically center. dale davis was great as well but talk about zero offensive game. dale would fiinsh near the rim no doubt.

the foster thtat played two seasons ago vs the bulls in the postseaoson was lights out. or the foster that pulled down like 21 rebounds in a detroit pistons postseason game.. half of which were offensive rebournds. Foster was is in his own right a BAMF as well. defenswively he pissed players off and was always solid on putbacks and made great passes.

point is. even the Foster from two seasons ago vs the bulls was probably in many respects better than Smits or Hibbert. Fosters back would not allow him to play the same minutes. otherwise on a team like this one where scoring is not requird from the center, Foster would probably average 15 rebounds a game and 7 pts. would probably lead lg in offensive rebounds. unselfish and smart.

smits was not durable, and only gave you offesne. he was right for those teams because offense was needed.

Foster was a helluva lot more than a carreer backup. he did everything but score. and thats not a bad thning to have on certain teams where offense is alreadythere.. JO, Artest, Miller, Jackson, Tinsley... Foster did the dirty work and he did it very damn well.

Re: Official Trade Roy Hibbert Thread

If I had both the time and skill... I'd love to edit that gif. Put a sign on the shopping cart, "Trade Market." Replace the kid tossing the cereal box with the kid tossing Roy's head with a concerned look on his face, cut to the Dikembe swat, showing a now smiling/happy Hibbert floating way...

Re: Official Trade Roy Hibbert Thread

Sorry you lost me, claiming tyler being better than Foster is insane, go over that stat row, and you will see WHY Jeff was at least twice the player hansboroough is. Oh wait, I get it, you only look at the points avg, I seeeeee, lol well that explains ALL. In fact the entire thread is explained in one go, shall I lock it now ?

I actually agree with you on the comparison. It's inaccurate to try to gauge a player with a 13 year career vs. one 4 years in the league. For a more accurate comparison, here's Jeff's 4th year averages vs. Tyler's 4th year:

I loved me some Jeff Foster, but lets get real here. Hans is already a better overall player than Jeff. To say otherwise is willful ignorance of the facts.

what am i looking at here that proves Tyler > Foster? The 4ppg more at a lower shooting percentage? You can't be serious. The only thing Tyler does better than Jeff and will only do better than Jeff is score. Foster dominated on the glass, especially offensively, was a superior defender and a better passer.

HA. im a big Hans supporter and he is no where near the player Fiesty Foster was in his prime. Foster was 6'10 easy and could gaurd most teams Centers. Even did a decent job against Shaq.

Foster better passer, rebounder, defender, leader, and played just as hard. Foster was a better version of Dennis Rodman. Foster dominated games with his offensive rebounding.

The only reason he no longer started for this team was due to back problems. If i had a healthy Foster in his prime or HIbbs right now i would take Foster. if Hibbert hits his prime with some offensive game then i would reconsider. I would take Foster over Smits as well for the long haul, other than a 3 year career run under Bird Smits had durability issues.
